Hello. I'm Yoshi, 48 years old Japanese uncle. I work at my home on weekdays. I've been to many foreign countries and many people helped me. This time I would like to help you. Please let me know your interest while walking. I have a license of Japanese teacher and you can ask me about Japanese language. I speak intermediate English and Mandarin, and a little Korean. My explanation in English still needs to be improved and you help me^_^.

Yoshi seems a little new to the English tour game, but was informed and helpful. He’s generous with his pacing and allowed for the slow pace of our photo taking and window shopping. He knows the path, Nara customs, and was extremely kind to us. He doesn’t do a ton of chit-chat like many of the other guru’s and tour guides we hired, but he made up for it by answering all of our questions and even took us shopping after.
